A gene drive is a technology that spreads a particular suite of genes throughout the population. The techniques that this technology uses involves adding, deleting, disrupting, or modifying genes.

# data[].attributes.body
Gene drives are attached to chosen genes to make sure that they are inherited through offspring. Genes have different versions of itself and two copies will be placed in the organism. Gene drives help insure that all offspring inherit the specific gene where without it only half of the offspring will inherit it.

What is a gene drive ?

In my own words a gene drive is a genetic engineering device or technology in which can spread a certain pair of genes throughout the population. (Which would increased the number of offsprings with the trait). “Spread particular genomic alterations through targeted species” (enhancement etc.. )

As shown in the picture above when compared to normal inheritance with gene drive  there was more flies or offsprings with the trait.

A gene drive is a genetic structure that can be inserted into the DNA so this will be able to change the inheritance in sexual reproduction. This allows the chances of a particular trait that passes from parent to off spring from 50/50 percent to nearly 100 percent.

It is a genetic engineering technology that is used by genetic engineers to ensure that their desired gene is passed on through the population throughout time. It is attached to the gene together with instructions to make Cas 9 and where in the chromosome to cut and insert the desired gene. The cas 9 cuts out the gene of the mate's chromosome and inserts the desired gene into the embryo.

Kea is a large species found in the parrot family and is found in the forested and alpine regions. They don't suffer much from pest because they are a well protected, but they suffer from predators introduced by migrating Europeans.

Pests such as rats, stoats, cats hedgehogs, pigs and deer are species that prey on NZ native species causing to destroy their habitats and food sources. An example of an endangered specie is a North Island Kokako. The Kokako breeding population had increased Mapara Forest after four aerial 1080 operations in 80 years. Their pests are possums, rats and stoats.

All native birds in NZ are affected by pest like possums,rats and stoats. They are badly affected by them preying on their eggs, lowering the population on native birds. (give some stats-how low have populations dropped, which species, why are they so vulnerable?)

Current forms of pest control used against pest in NZ is 1080 poison.

Google: Guardianship or management.

Biology: the exercise of guardianship by the tangata whenua of an area in accordance with tikanga Maori.

Tikanga Maori is the Maori who believe they are guarding our Taonga (an object or natural resource that is high prized) such as native species and the environment.

1080 is a type of poison formulated to be very toxic. 1080 in scientific terms is known to be Sodium Monofluoroacetate.

- The distribution of 1080 poison in New Zealand is done in two different ways, Aerial and Ground.

- This poison is made to lure predators  into consuming it.
